General Information

On this page, we explain everything that is specific to the Speed Farming variant of
Sunwuko Wave of Light Monk. Updated for patch 2.6.1 and
Season 13.

The other pages of our Sunwuko Wave of Light Monk guide can be accessed
from the table of contents on the right.

1. Speed Farming

The Sunwuko Wave of Light Monk deals with regular Rift farming decently all
the way through the highest Torments, making it a viable build for the task.

Within the limited scope of regular difficulties, the necessary damage and
toughness to triumph over the enemy is significantly smaller. Thus, your best
course of action is to improve utility and speed.

Although early on they can still be useful, you should ideally not need the
excessive damage bonuses of Focus and Restraint during speed
farming. In the place of the generator, you can slot the additive damage increase
of Blinding FlashFaith in the Light.

You can shift away from survivability into more utility on
Dashing Strike depending on your confidence in handling the build. This
is usually done by replacing Blinding Speed with
Way of the Falling Star during farming.

Replace the survivability of Mantra of SalvationAgility for
Mantra of Conviction. Its base additive damage increase is welcome, but
negligible compared to the movement speed utility of the Annihilation
rune — which also affects the entire party, reinforcing its value when
grouping up.

3. Adapting Gear

As previously mentioned, Focus and Restraint should not
be necessary for Torment difficulties speedfarming; they are best replaced by
Avarice Band and a Fire % Stone of Jordan respectively.
Avarice Band is a cache legendary from Act III bounties that offers
considerable utility in the form of pickup radius, synergizing perfectly with a
gemmed Boon of the Hoarder and an equipped Goldwrap. In turn,
Stone of Jordan offers a consistent damage increase that is more suited to
speedfarming.

For this variation, the ideal weapon companion to Vengeful Wind
becomes In-geom for its unparalleled cooldown reduction utility.

5. Adapting Kanai's Cube

In the Cube, swap the progression-oriented Spirit Guards power from the
Armor slot into Nemesis Bracers for extra elites, speeding up rift
completion.
